Multiscale magmatic cyclicity, duration of pluton construction, and the paradoxical relationship between tectonism and plutonism in continental arcs (2011, background): “In other words, any structural plutonic record can be interpreted as: (1) a record of deformation, either related to emplacement dynamics (injection) or to regional deformation, and/or (2) a magmatic record related tomagma differentiation during cooling of magma pulses.”
Nitrogen-enhanced greenhouse warming on early Earth (2009, background): “Continental volume is usually thought to have increased from less than 10p of the present volume in the early Archaean to over 90p by the late Proterozoi”
Urey ratio and the structure and evolution of Earth's mantle (2008, background): “…geochemists [e.g., Collerson and Kamber, 1999; Campbell, 2003; RG2007 Korenaga: UREY RATIO AND EARTH’S MANTLE 15 of 32 RG2007 Harrison et al., 2005; Hawkesworth and Kemp, 2006], but if a consensus is ever achieved, thermal evolution modeling may become useful for inferring Archean and Hadean…”
